Natural Features and SceneryDense forest of hemlock, white pine, white fir, and sugar pine creates heavy shade throughout the campground. Miller Lake's clear water sits in a basin formed by ancient lava flows, now covered in mature conifers. The Mt. Thielsen Wilderness rises beyond the south shore, visible from lakeside sites. Osprey, bald eagles, grebes, and loons frequent the lake. Several sites sit directly on the shoreline or have water views. The forest canopy keeps sites fairly private despite the 63-site capacity.
